Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
We’ve all got that one skein - maybe two - of a colorway that we couldn’t resist buying but have no idea what to make with it. That’s what inspired me to design the Reciprocal shawl! Reciprocal features a moss stitch motif with a garter stitch eyelet border. These simple textures complement the beauty of your semi-solid or variegated yarns with...

The Offset tube cowl is a “choose your own adventure” style pattern.

Miscellany is the perfect project for using worsted weight scraps. Using no more than 55 yards each of three colors, the colorwork in this hat is created solely with slipped stitches. It is an easy knit for a colorwork beginner and a quick knit for someone with more advanced skills.
Knitting: Cowl
Rambler is a worsted weight cowl comprised of eyelets and twisted stitches. The fabric is soft, drapey and easy to wear, offering warmth and comfort on chilly days. Semi-solid and tonal colorways are perfect for highlighting the texture of the pattern, while its meandering design motif also works well to add an extra element of movement to vari...

This drapey, colorwork cowl is easy enough for those new to stranded knitting and rewarding enough to be a quick project for those with more experience in the technique. The circumference of this cowl can easily be customized, and using less than 50 grams each of two contrasting colors, Flurry is a wonderful way to stash-bust some of your worst...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
These gently rotating ribs are both fun to knit and provide visual interest that are a perfect complement for any yarn from semi-solid to variegated to self-striping. A unisex design, this cuff down pattern includes instructions for both a right rotating and a left rotating sock, so your feet can go in different directions (so to speak!), or yo...

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Note that I issued a revised version of this pattern on 2/11/12 that clarifies an oddly confusing bit of direction in the “Foot” section of the original pattern. It only pertains to those who are resizing the sock upward, so if you downloaded the pattern before 2/11/12 and are knitting as the pattern is written, this bit won’t be applicable to ...
Knitting: Cowl
Gauge for this pattern: One 10-stitch repeat of the pattern should cover approximately 1 1/2” unstretched. One eight-round repeat of the pattern should be 1” high.

Pulpie, a fun little piece of orange juice pulp, was created in response to my teenage daughter’s ongoing references to her great dislike of pulp in her juice, to which I heartily agreed. Pulp = ick. One day, however, the vision of this happy little guy popped into my mind, and I decided I must make him for my daughter!
Knitting: Electronics Cozy
I designed this to fit a 3rd generation Kindle, with about an extra inch of space width-wise. The extra room should allow the pattern, as written, to accomodate the slightly larger 2nd generation Kindle as well.
Knitting: Puppet
If you’re in need of a really quick gift for a kid, these finger puppets are just the thing! They take very little yarn and very little time. You’ll likely spend more time embellishing them with the stitched on faces than you will actually knitting the puppets themselves.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Note as of 4/25/24 - I am currently working on an update to this pattern, which will include more custom sizing notes. Until that is released, please note that while this hat is EXTREMELY stretchy width wise due to the ribbing, the more negative ease it has, the shorter the hat will become. If you are knitting your hat with significant negative...
